Story
She is 4 years old, very healthy and active. She is always curious about where you are and what you're doing but still wants to be left alone. She is social and gets along with strangers or acquaintances. She shows affection in her own way: she loves to sleep next to your feet at night and comes to you when you call her name. She isnt always a lap cat but if she is fed and the house is cold, she will definitely use a portion of your blanket. She is okay with kids but usually tries to avoid them. She has never scratched my toddler. She is a huge foodie and will often ask you for a bite of whatever you're eating.

Story
UPDATE FROM FOSTER “Grey is starting to settle in at his foster home. Sometimes he sends mixed signals by hissing when someone first enters the room, but he loves being pet. He’s becoming braver, going up to his foster mom and headbutting and rubbing his cheeks against her to ask for pets! He then purrs up a storm. He also enjoys playing with a wand toy from time to time.” Grey – Available for Adoption Grey is a 9-year-old male grey & white cat that prefers to be your one & only. He is very shy, but often comes out when people he is familiar with walk in the room - though doesn’t like to be approached quickly. He likes to be pet, can be picked up (to be moved, not held standing up - though he’ll sit next to people, and occasionally on a lap). He is food motivated, loves cat nip and is very interested in feather toys - though not ones that make noise. Grey along with his sibling Sweet Pea (who neither want to live with each other) were rescued by a good Samaritan after they ran out of a dumpster that was recently delivered to her Quincy home from Chelsea for a construction job. The pair along with a third feral kitten were trapped and vetted by BFF in 2016 and returned to the finder. Due to her recent passing, the pair are now looking for a new home (the 3rd cat is staying with the finder’s daughter.) Grey is approximately 9 years old, neutered and negative for FeLV and FIV. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org

Story
Lucy – Available for Adoption Lucy was one of Joni’s cats. BFF needs to find purr’fect homes for all of Joni’s cats. She was named after one of Joni’s best friends. Lucy is a quiet cat that keeps to herself. In Joni’s words from 2024: “Black cats are awesome but I never had a desire for owning one. Of course doing rescue I've had many black cats and kittens. Love them all but my favorite has always been orange or tabbies. Well at night I sleep with 2 black cats on my bed and one on my bedside table that wants to get on the bed. How the hell did this happen? This is my Lucy Lu. Named after a very wonderful friend of mine who was frightened to death of cats. She too was black and beautiful. She passed away a few years ago about the time I rescued Lucy as a feral kitten and after socializing I couldn't let her go. My friend Lucy would be so proud to know I named my beauty after her. Lucy gets along well with everyone. She doesn't like to be picked up. Only bothers me at night when she flops her big ass self on top of me in bed demanding I pet her. Since Jojo has been gone, she loved Jojo, she at night in bed with us would groom him. Now she has become my new stalker. Nowhere as bad as my Jojo but she now craves more attention. Took over his spot on the table swatting my backside as I'm at the sink. I love this gorgeous black cat. Always have. I sometimes walk around house singing Lucy Lu I love you.” Lucy is approximately 7 years old, spayed, negative for FeLV and FIV and will be up-to-date on her vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting him, contact Boston's Forgotten Felines on Facebook or at catadoptions@bostonsforgottenfelines.org

Story
Momo is a 6-month-old tabby cat, who is exceptionally loving and smart. He is extremely sweet, playful, and loves to cuddle. He is very silly and loves to chase his own tale. Momo is great at playing by himself, with other cats, or with people. We adopted him in December as a companion to our original cat. Unfortunately, our older cat has taken to bullying Momo and he deserves a different environment. We think he would do best in a calm and stable environment, and where at least one person is present the majority of the day. Momo is up to date on all vaccinations and flee & tick treatments, and we have kept records of all vet visits. He has no health conditions or medications.
